I need to develop a small app that will extract data from an ODBC complaint database.

i'm not completely computer illiterate, can do some basic programming stuff, but it's been too long since i've done any vb stuff.

if you can take me thru step by step procedure on what to do to build this app, i'll give you $100.00 paypal.

 
Keep your money and go buy a "21-day to learning..." book. I think the Sam's (publisher) book has something similar to what you need as a tutorial.

you have a program that will extract data from any odbc compliant database and can spit it out ascii?

i'm sure there are programs out there, but i do want to learn how to do it as well.

Spit it out in Ascii??? As in, a program which can extract a db and spit out the content in Ascii?? Well, I can always add a converter in it. The one I did extracts data out from a MS access DB.

I learnt it all in a night. You need to know a little SQL and a little VB. I would tutor but I'm not a great tutor. I would end up giving you the whole proggy.

Let me go find the program and see if I can remember how to do it. 😀
 
Have you found someone to help you on building an app to take data from an ODBC compliant DB?

if not, then you are PWNED! =)

I'm just playin. I'd try to help, but I don't know much about VB.

to be honest. it's tempting just to buy it from you, but i want to learn to do it in VB. i've been wanting to get into vb more for a long time, just haven't had the time to do so. now i got a project that requires a little vb, so i'm gonna buckle down and learn it.

i'm just really really bad with books.

Learn how to do it. It's nothing big. Really. You need to hand it up tomorrow?? I'm sure you have the basics to VB right?? You do know how to open a file and what not right?? Just look up on a little SQL and you're all set. Does your book have a lot of pictures?? Pictures help alot. Trust me.

i am actually pretty good with sql stuff. i do sql queries and such all the time.

i just have a hard time visualizing righting the program to work with odbc database that isn't on my system and writing to it in a generic way.

If you're writting it for dynamic purposes, as in accessing multiple database in an unknown area. Then it'll take quite a while though.
